It can refer to the allocation of physical goods, the division of responsibilities, or the separation of people or entities. Context: The Greek verb μερίζω appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating its diverse applications. In the Gospels, it is often used in the context of dividing physical items, such as in the feeding of the multitudes where Jesus divides the loaves and fish among the people (e.g., Matthew 14:19).
